Tallinn Old Town Days

Old Town Days turns Tallinn’s medieval center into a lived-in stage: streets feel more festive, and the city leans into its history without feeling like a museum.

The details change year to year, but the general vibe is consistent:

• Performances and programming in/around Old Town
• A stronger “street life” feeling (especially in the evenings)
• A great excuse to revisit classic spots like Town Hall Square and Toompea

• Book accommodation early.
• Go out early in the evening to avoid peak crowding.
• Escape to calmer areas like Kadriorg between events.

If you’re in Tallinn during Old Town Days, balance it:

• One festival evening
• One quiet morning Old Town loop
• One calm afternoon in Kadriorg or a seaside walk in Pirita
